Public bug reported: Using Lucid, up-to-date, kernel 2.6.32-21-generic. I have had this problem since 2.6.32-19-generic, where I was going to report it but updates were available, so I had hoped that the problem would go away. However, it persists.
Using previous kernel 2.6.32-16-generic, this problem did not seem to exist (if it had, it was so rare that I never actually ran into it). The new kernel now corrupts the display awfully after anywhere from 1 to 8 hours of uptime. I can Control+Alt+F1 to go back to a VT, but then the screen starts to "melt". The system then responds to a Control+Alt+Delete and cleanly reboots. Sometimes, when I switch back to VT1, I get a console that is extremely corrupt, with what should be column 0, row 0 appearing somewhere in the middle of the display with strange wrapping, or I get an apparently normal console that corrupts itself the next time the kernel attempts to reset the graphics hardware as shown in the log below. The log snippet below was taken under -19-generic, but appears to be the same with -21-generic. When I encounter this problem, the following shows up in dmesg: Apr 12 21:01:22 fennel kernel: [11341.070194] [drm:radeon_fence_wait] *ERROR* fence(ffff88009e78a400:0x00048BFE) 510ms timeout going to reset GPU Apr 12 21:01:22 fennel kernel: [11341.070206] radeon 0000:01:00.0: GPU softreset Apr 12 21:01:22 fennel kernel: [11341.070212] radeon 0000:01:00.0: R_008010_GRBM_STATUS=0xE00014A4 Apr 12 21:01:22 fennel kernel: [11341.070219] radeon 0000:01:00.0: R_008014_GRBM_STATUS2=0x00300002 Apr 12 21:01:22 fennel kernel: [11341.070225] radeon 0000:01:00.0: R_000E50_SRBM_STATUS=0x200030C0 Apr 12 21:01:23 fennel kernel: [11341.247761] radeon 0000:01:00.0: Wait for MC idle timedout !
